Mechanisms of Mirror-Touch Synesthesia | Mechanisms of Mirror-Touch Synesthesia | A subset of the population experiences touch on their own body when observing someone else being touched - mirror-touch synesthesia. We are currently examining the prevalence, subtypes, and mechanisms that give rise to mirror-touch synesthesia, using behavioral and psychophysical methods. | Medina, Jared | jmedina | | <img alt="" src="/Images%20Bios/medina-lab1.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | | | | | |
Using fMRI to Examine Post-Stroke Somatosensory Plasticity | Using fMRI to Examine Post-Stroke Somatosensory Plasticity | Structural changes from stroke give rise to plastic changes in the functional organization of the brain. However,
behavioral outcomes after stroke vary across individuals. We are currently examining the relationship
between functional reorganization of somatosensory processing (i.e. what brain regions are active during
touch) and behavioral outcomes. | Medina, Jared | jmedina | | <img alt="" src="/Images%20Bios/medina-lab4.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | | | | | |
Cognitive Neuroscience of the Body Schema | Cognitive Neuroscience of the Body Schema | After stroke, brain-damaged individuals demonstrate a wide variety of deficits related to body perception, ranging from the simple (loss of sensation) to the astonishing (e.g., perceiving extra limbs, alien hand syndrome). We are currently examining the relationship between lesion location and specific deficits in body representation using voxel-lesion symptom-mapping, in order to understand how the mind represents the body. | Medina, Jared | jmedina | | <img alt="" src="/Images%20Bios/medina-lab2.jpg" style="BORDER:0px solid;" /> | | | | | |
